Historical HakenKreuz

[BOBC]

BrassEm.
Many thanks, aircraft dont look incomplete and silly. Historically correct is what I fly.

Steam agreement, it says you can get banned for "unfair competitive advantage" and having a realistic insignia on the tail of the plane hardly does any of that.

As I dont fly online, and I fly in the UK where freedom of historical accuracy is allowed, we did fight WW2 for freedom and free speech, and won !...will using these mods be ok, or will Steam still stop such players. Are they only after online users ?

I havent purchased it yet, so how will they know, do they access ones PC and see what mods are on it ? Thats intrusion of privacy.

That symbol wouldnt get a seconds thought by users, its just there, the people that fly sims dont care, its part of the accurate scheme, but all this hoo ha about it in fact advertises it, makes a mountain out of a molehill and may just cause bad thoughts where none existed in the minds of the easily led. I still cant see its existence on a tailfin causing a resurgence in naziism though, whole things ridiculous. The action of some petty bureaucrat with a pen and nothing better to do, and unable to fine tune his writings to only apply the rule to cases where it does matter. UK allows it, we dont see problems here at all from its use in flight sims, hasn't warped minds yet.

Good on you BrassEm, sim looks far better for it, now I will buy it.

What controls have we over size and position ?

Hello BOBC,

Only what's in the .dds files at the moment. Hoping 1C will open up the decal system - then it will be fully customisable.

Cheers,

[EDIT: Noted your comment in another forum. Will double check on scans for position again. The reference to the Ju-87 is circa 1942 as posted, and from photo's only. I do not trust profiles or line drawings.]

mum, who mother was caught up in WWII events, looks in what the offspring is running on screen and lo and behold - has a fit because of what she sees on screen... guess which petty vote seeking bureaucrat gets hassled to fix it, before her mother finds out and has a real fit????

Well.... we have historical guns modelled in all kind games, we have historical warmachines modelled in all kind games, we have historical symbols modelled in all kind games like the "devils pentagram". so what the h*ll is so bad with the swastica/hakencruz compared to all this?

as long as all the other countrys got theyre markings on em fully detailed... why not the luftwaffe? this policy disgust me

Awesome Mod BrassEm thank you very much

So.. making a concentration camp simulation is fine, as long as you don't include swastikas?

Strange priorities..
Why ban such a symbol in a historical environment, when the actual acts of the nazi regime hasn't been censored?
I mean seeing Hitler speaking to a crowd, or ss soldiers executing jews would be far more upsetting than seeing a swastika, yet the swastika is banned..

Actually, now that I think about it, I remember hearing some guy in Germany who got arrested for having a hitler speech as a ringtone..
How ironic considering the side fighting for freedom of speech and democracy won..

I believe that the swastica is not ingame as it is forbidden in some countries.

Some people argue that forbidding this is against freedom of speech. While it may be so one should not forget that it was freedom of speech that allowed Hitler to raise to power in the first place. The democracy of Weimar allowed him spilling his hatred, working openly to the very destruction of this democracy and finally achieving it. After the war many countries and particularly Germany decided to build a democracy that is capable to fight those who want the destruction of democracy as a lesson drawn from the years 33 to 45. One measure was to forbid the symbol behind which the Nazis gathered in an effort to make this symbol no longer a working tool for the Nazis as the Nazis knew about the force of symbols very well. This symbol stands for death on an unpreceded scale.
